Does anyone have the mark schemes for P2 maths exams from 2001 and onwards

One needs a challenge :colone:

I honestly don't find the P2 papers any more difficult than c3 papers.

Lol I hate it when you been stuck on a question for ages battering every equation possible at it, then you look at the mark scheme and all that is required is some simple factorization of Cot,Cosec or Sec... DAMN. I noticed a few people are doing all the review questions? Do you think it will be worth it?

The more practice, the sharper you become at the questions. Its best try as many different questions as you can. If you feel uncomfortable with a certain topic, just practice questions on it (with your theory too) to become a pro at :colone:

It'll be fine.

If you get 88, you can always bring it up with a mark like 92 in C4. Likewise if you do well in C3, it slightly removes the pressure on C4 :h:

Im on BBA for c1,c2,statistics, do you think its worth resitting c1 in the summer if i'm pretty sure i'll get a high A in it since it will seem really easy now? (I didn't really revise last year for maths). And would it bring me up to an A or is c2 heavily weighted?

i hate finding the domain and range of functions.

also in SET A: practice paper 1, one of the questions asks about an increasing function. do we need to know what increasing functions are in the actual exam?

Same, domains/ranges really annoy me.

And increasing functions are pretty self-explanatory: they have +ve gradients and reach a maximum (if polynomial).
